I checked the rotor by hand and it does advance and retard smoothly, I just think the springs are soo light and with a high idle, its fully advanced when running. I know the exact cam, the box it came in is in the trunk with the old cam in it. My concern with the valves was the dancing vacuum needle. There is a bit a shake to it. I've been meaning to get compression and that is what I need to do next. I'm all over the place with this thing, thanks for keeping me focused and giving me the right things to check. Its also, nice to hear that 7" of vacuum is OK. What about idle? How low could you get that 340 and .508 cam to idle? 1050 is lowest I got so far and I'm pushing it there.
